hi guys, I am so I-I short before buying this camara, I just have a question about burning stuff on dvd.


option 1: having a dvx100a ( NTSC )
If I shoot my shorts on this cam I can burn it easily on dvd, but what if I want to have a dvd for pal system? I have to use another kind of encoder for pal systems, converting and so on, how much pain in the ass is it? do I lose quality? sharpness when I convert it? the colors?

option: having a dvx100ae (pal)
ok well known that its the best quality for film blow ups, much sharper and so on.. what about the dvd burning from pal camara to a ntsc dvd format? how much do I lose? or does it still look sharper?

better lets say, whats the best for sending it to festivals?

p.s. guys thank you so much for answering my question, you are all great!
 
Re: dvd converting for pal and ntsc

IMHO, you better use NTSC since you live in the USA
I'm a PAL user, I do not notice any (visual) diffference between PAL/NTSC video on DVD
